SEMINAR FEEDBACK

Hi David, I am still buzzing from the seminar! I
have never felt so relaxed in an atmosphere,
subject of which would normally have me
panicking! You and your wife made the whole
experience far less daunting than I could've
imagined and I could have stayed there all day.

I was amazed to see so many people and
immediately got comfort from that. Also knowing
that there are varying levels of fear going on
is helpful to know. I feel like I already have a
bit of a clearer knowledge of how the mind works
now and realise how the therapy would help me in
overcoming this fear. Thank
you!

Hello David

I have some news which I would really like to
share with you as it is a complete 360 of what
my plans were before I met you.

I am pregnant!!!

I am in the middle of morning sickness hell! But
as disgusting and horrible as it all is I am not
scared, I keep calm and get on with things.

Before I met you I was hell bent on never having
another child. But once I started my sessions
with you and began understanding and processing
everything in my head I realised the real reason
for not wanting another child was down to my
fear. Now that I have control of that fear I now
know that wasn't a good enough reason and my
reasons for having another child far outweighed
that one.

Having my sessions with you has really helped me
put my life back into perspective and although I
still have my moments I am the one in control
not the child in me and not my fear.

So thank you David. I now look forward to my
next chapter.

Kind regards

Rebecca

GABRIELLE'S STORY...I've suffered with
Emetophobia all my life, that's 45 years
of stressing about, or trying to avoid
being s***. Up until my hypnotherapy
sessions with David - about 5 years ago
- I didn't cope very well and lived in
fear most of the time. I managed to have
2 children but after they were born a
new fear entered my life, that of the
kids being s***. Hypnotherapy released
me from years of negative and
frightening thoughts and my approach to
life now is so far removed from my old
self.

You can be imprisoned by your own mind
but it is possible to regain control. I
recently reached a turning point in my
life that I never thought possible. I
started to feel s*** and instead of
guzzling water or mints or pepto bismol
or rennie or motillium10, I decided to
just let it happen. I always thought
that you had no warning but I was wrong,
my body let me know I was going to be
s*** and so I just waited. It was over
so quickly and I can honestly say it was
just unpleasant, not horrific, not
scary, not overwhelming, not
uncontrollable, just unpleasant. I felt
so much better and was so pleased with
myself. It was such an achievement.

Just knowing I can cope with the
experience has changed my life. My son
was s*** recently and instead of calling
my husband to deal with it I calmly took
him to the bathroom and held his hand.
It didn't phase me in the slightest, in
fact I was so pleased that I could be
there for him.

Now I know that you are reading this and
thinking "that's fine for her, she
doesn't know how I feel, being s*** is
worse than dying". Well I do know,
because I've been there, I have been up
all night shaking from head to toe,
avoided parties that I would have loved
to have gone to, been housebound because
of a s***ness bug at work, lived my life
as a series of panic attacks, thought
about suicide. All because of one tiny
event that happened at birth.

Life does get better.

DANIELLA'S STORY...

Hi David,

I had several appointments at your
Harley Street clinic back in the summer
of 2011. I was suffering from anxiety
brought on by the fear of being sick, I
had experienced a trigger event whilst
at university and had to deal with the
situation alone which resulted in a huge
surge in anxiety and worry afterwards.

I was about to embark on my final year
of university and to be honest I didn't
know how I would ever complete my degree
because of my anxiety. I made the
decision to live at home and commute
each day to my campus because I couldn't
face living away from my safety zone
which consisted of my home and my
parents, who understood my anxiety.

When I first met you I couldn't even
get on a train or bus alone, of fear I
would panic and feel or be sick. I was
always chaperoned to London to make your
appointments, I could never come alone.
I didn't have a social life, and my
parents even had to come home from their
summer holiday early because I could not
cope alone without them. When we all
went on holiday together as a family it
was an extremely anxious time, I was out
of my comfort zone and having to travel
on ferries, cars etc which resulted in a
big panic attack so it wasn't just
effecting me but my whole family. The
anxiety was literally controlling all
aspects of my life and it was an
extremely difficult time, I was also
finishing university soon and what I
would do after worried me.

3 years later I am now 25 years old and
I have improved so much, my life has
completely changed. I now live and work
in London as a freelance designer, I am
in a relationship and have some great
friends and a social life again. I
commute the dreaded London commute
everyday on tubes and buses and anxiety
will barely effect me. I have also been
on holidays alone with my friends and my
boyfriend. Anxiety still surfaces now
and again but it is much more controlled
and it doesn't control my life and
decisions anymore. After I saw you I
improved gradually over the months, it
was a long road but I've reached a point
now where I feel confident again with
thanks to your help those 3 years ago. I
learnt to do small things that made me a
bit anxious (stay at friends houses, go
on a bus alone, do things out of my
comfort zone etc) and gradually with
small steps I have been able to move out
and live in London. If you told me when
I met you that I would live and work in
London I would never have believed you.
So I am extremely thankful for your help
and advice.

I would like to offer up my services to
you should you ever have a patient that
needs someone to contact who has been in
a similar situation to them. I was in
contact with one of your patients in
Newcastle and still am now and again so
I know it helps.

Thanks again for your help I am a
different person now.

Kind regards,

Daniella Case
